Police in Nassau County were called about 8 a.m. Tuesday about a whale in Atlantic Beach.

Multiple agencies are coordinating the response but because high tide will limit crews’ accessibility to the animal, that response likely will begin Wednesday, according to the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society (AMCS), which is part of the response.

Additional information about the animal or what may have caused its death was not immediately available. A necropsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

Photographer Artie Raslich captured images of the leviathan, which was dotted with barnacles. He estimates the whale is about 31 feet long.
